We have a problem….
You’ve probably all noticed that we’ve been having some major instability issues with the site these past few days. I’m going to take the site down for an extended period tonight to try and fix them once and for all.
Apologies and thanks for your patience!

Good luck.

damn, my plan B did not work. Running the DB in the Amazon cloud is just too slow
@robdylan (Comment 4) : I’ve noticed as I’m awake here a long time before you guys wake up on that side of the world. Also, what’s with all the captcha things checking if I’m a robot?
I was wondering what was going on…thanks for your efforts!
@Ben (Comment 5) : Wait, what?
@robdylan (Comment 7) : It gives you a picture with numbers and letters that you have to type in.
Why not use a local cloud provider like IS? Where are you experiencing issues front end (sessions) or backend DB ? Also you could ensure you get max iops for db by partitioning os pagefile app temp db and log files separately and using the high speed high end disk for temp db and logs and the rest on standard disk? Just guessing you are having a Sql disk performance issue since Sql does not play well with virtualization.
@robdylan (Comment 7) : @Ben (Comment 8) : Yeah I have had that happen to me a few times too.
@RedSharkUtd82 (Comment 10) : when you do what, though?
@coolfusion (Comment 9) : Absolutely no idea what any of that means. 😀
@robdylan (Comment 11) : When I click submit comment button.
@Pokkel (Comment 12) : glad I’m not the only one
@RedSharkUtd82 (Comment 13) : hmmm. That’s dumb. I must get rid of that

It’s not letting me post at all right now on my PC, even if I put in the right captcha code.
@Seth101 (Comment 16) : I turned it off
@robdylan (Comment 17) : Testing
Great thanks, can post again.
@Seth101 (Comment 18) : that plugin has a bloody life of its own
@robdylan (Comment 19) : Yea from my experience it was completely random.
